So far, I’ve only used jack2 with qjackctl and a2jmidid …
Since the previous update, a2jmidid stopped working, so I’ve now replaced pulse/jack with pipewire (pipewire-jack, pipewire-pulse, pipewire-alsa). Everything seems to be working now, and the error messages have disappeared.
What happens to qjackctl and a2jmidid? Can it be removed and is there a pipewire-jack configuration GUI similar to qjackctl?
Are there any other recommendations for use with Reaper, Ardour, Mixbus?
